Metrodome crowd eruption inspires fond memories of the past

Back in November, when the Knicks lost to the Celtics by something like 109 points, one New York fan was so disgusted with his team’s display he literally threw his Knicks jersey onto the court in dramatic, swinging manboob fashion. That event inspired us to run "Fans in Disgust" which highlighted some of the most memorable fan riots to date.

This of course, has inspired us to look back at these memories once again, but not without a few additions to the end of the timeline.
